That was how injections were often carried out before the 1960's! In 1957  I was clearing out some old papers in the desk of my new classroom and didn't notice the steel pen buried in the middle of them. Its rusty nib went under a finger nail and it got so infected that I had to go to the local hospital three days running for a painful course of penicyllin injections. There is a Norman Rockwell painting for a "Saturday Evening Post" cover entitled  "Before the Shot", made at about the same time,  showing a boy of about my age about to have an injection in this way.

By 1965, such injections were made in the arm, but I didn't know that. It led to some embarrassment when I was a teenager and a similar thing happened to me with a splinter of wood when climbing onto the bsck of a lorry in my summer job. On being told by the young nurse that I needed an injection, I dropped my trousers. The nurse was was very understanding when I explained!

I had penicillin injections, which are a bit lumpy, in my thigh and glute when I was in hospital after an accident. I remember the nurse saying that a patient had refused and asked to have it in the arm and spent the rest of the day in agony.
